Tyra Banks

Multi-talented Tyra Banks is many things. She’s a singer, actress, author, producer, TV personality and talk show host. That kind of pressure really adds up, doesn’t it?
Still, the supermodel thinks that it’s good to add on a few pounds every now and then. In a recent interview, Tyra mentioned that she thought she looked better than before when she gained weight on her face and body. When asked about why the industry insists in keeping their models skinny, the GQ cover girl and Sports Illustrated model says that the hosts assume clothes look better on someone who is smaller. Would you agree?

Keanu Reeves

You’d think that the Matrix star would hack into the system to turn his body into a muscled physique, but we politely digress. Keanu Reeves slipped out of the movie spotlight in the year 2013 and reappeared with a lot of excess pounds. Tabloids spotted the actor in Cannes, France and noticed that the 48 yr old actor looked very old, tired and bloated, and he had a noticeable paunch.
The reason for the transformation? It could be due to some very unfortunate events in Keanu’s life which led him to a depressed state. Like the untimely death of his girlfriend, for one.


Star Jones Reynolds

Star Jones went through a gastric bypass surgery to begin her weight loss journey. Before the operation, the medical staff had to bring in an industrial-strength weighing scale. Star then resolved to never get on one of those things again. After the operation, Star lost about 160 pounds and has been staving off the excess weight ever since!
